[hometext] => viral marketing, aggressive street spruikers, cold phoners - I'm jack of the lot of them!
[bodytext] =>  It’s an obstacle course in vulture town, designed to break resistance down the pavement whores and product preachers, the doorknockers and street leeches Can I have a minute of your time? NO! it’s MINE! Hi! How-are-yas, extended hand, such false sentiment I can’t stand in a continuous flow of words and banter, coupled with a weird street canter they won’t let go till you’ve signed a plan Hey - I’m doing you the favour, man! Running the gamut to get to work, a waste of time calling them jerks it bounces off them like Teflon, it’s what their egos are built on Have you got a moment to save the whales? this from pretty girls and hunky males have they ever smelled whale breath? that’s enough to earn them death! A charity bucket nudged under the nose, or buy your girl a crappy rose wash your windscreen? Shine your shoes? franchise schemes where you ‘can’t lose’ I’m not interested, can’t you see? -just feck off away from me! The trip home is becoming absurd, it’s like a scene from Hitchcock’s Birds even behind closed doors I’m assailed in the Carrier wars I’m gauging interest in a cool new phone Is the dummy of the house at home? Here’s a thought to stop the rot … tazer and mace the bloody lot!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
